Rodney Klos passed away on January 7, 2026, at the age of 64. He was born on February 21, 1961, to the late Allan and Violet (Kramer) Klos.

Rodney graduated from UW Madison with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business and went on to build a career in retail management. He was known for his strong work ethic and leadership, but even more for his outlook on life. Rodney had an unwaveringly positive spirit—always finding the good, even when his health was failing.

Above all else, Rodney cherished his family. He loved spending time with their children and grandchildren, and he found his greatest peace at home with the love of his life, Jackie, and their two beloved fur babies, Yogi and Bam Bam.

Rodney is survived by his loving spouse, Jackie; his five sons, Michael (Donna), Steve (Lindsay), Bob (Hunter), Jonathon (Holly), and Nick (Emily); his 17 grandchildren; his brother, Michael (Sue); and his sister, Kathryn (Mark) Nybo. He is further survived by four nephews; one niece; and one great-niece.

Rodney will be remembered for his kindness, optimism, and the deep love he had for his family. His legacy lives on through all who knew and loved him.

Honoring Rodney's wishes, no services will be held.
